People across the globe have different skin types and color, but everyone admires Asian skin color. It has been observed that Asian women are getting more complexion conscious, and the main reason behind this behavioral change is the aggressive marketing done by fairness cream companies in Asian regions. Every single time you switch on your Television, you cannot escape the torture of frequently repeating fairness creams ads.

We cannot deny the fact that fair skin always take an edge over darker skin, but making people feel that they cannot look pretty without using these creams is really unethical. Even now they are targeting men as well and it is hysterical when guys talk about their complexion and feel extra concerned about it!

It is good to take care of your skin and complexion, and I appreciate it when people take out time for themselves, but trusting blindly on every product can be very harmful to your skin.

Today, I am sharing my review about the most controversial 'Faiza Beauty Cream'. I am using the word 'Controversial' because I found many positive and negative reviews about this internationally used cream, even people are ordering it internationally on ebay and amazon. I do not have any intentions to harm any product's image, but my priority is to share a fair review with my followers in any case.

Claims Of Faiza Beauty Cream

Faiza Beauty Cream is one of the famous skin whitening cream launched by Poonia Brothers in 1990. It claims to lighten the skin color, treat acne and breakouts, remove dead skin cells and adds an instant glow to your skin. I guess every skin lightening product claims the same, but the question is, "To what extend it proves itself?"

These claims made me curious, and I decided to try out, whether it works or not?

Packaging Of Faiza Beauty Cream

I went to a local drugstore to buy this fairness cream, and I found two different products with the same name but two separate trademarks. I recalled the advertisement that I saw on a private cable network that mentioned their original trademark number, which is '223190'. This was a bit awkward situation because for the first time I had to choose the product comparing some numbers instead of ingredients.

The cream is packed in a colorful and overwritten box. I personally don't like too much stuff written on the box. Packing should be neat and clean with the necessary stuff written on it. The box was sealed with a scratchable sticker with a ten digit code for verification via SMS. This was the first thing that made my mind for this product. There are many products on the market and its very hard for us to decide whether its original or not. The idea of verification code is quite interesting.

The ingredients mentioned on the packaging had numerous spelling mistakes and in the end I had to Google around to find the actual ingredients.

My Review on Faiza Beauty Cream

You might have come across numerous reviews on internet about Faiza beauty cream but none of them share any kind of experience with this cream in reality. I was amazed to see a guy posting some review on this cream which was nothing but a mere effort to gain traffic on internet and gain some commission through ebay and amazon platforms. Please trust only the ones with a real experience with this kind of beauty products. Let's get back to my review on it, the cream does not mention anywhere on the packaging whether it is a day or night cream. I checked the packaging completely, and the only thing I got to know about this cream was, it was a whitening cream, and that's all! It is the responsibility of all the manufacturers to mention, whether the cream is a day cream or a night cream along with the application procedure.

As there was nothing written on the packing, it was my duty to analyze the cream texture and formula and decide how to use it. Due to the presence of petroleum jelly and natural wax, I found it a bit greasy. So people with dry skin should use it as a day cream, and one with oily skin should use it as a night cream. The cream felt more like a bleaching agent with some fragrance threw into it, just to add some luxury or should I say to hoax folks. So after some research, I decided to do a little experiment on my own with this cream.

I never use any new product directly on my face. Instead, I try it on my neck or hands first and after few satisfactory applications, I go for my facial skin. I guess it is the best way to try skin products, and I recommend this to everyone before trying out any new skin product! I have tested this cream for two weeks on my hands only and could not go further because the cream started to show some harsh effects on my skin. I consulted my dermatologist regarding the skin issue, and I was very shocked when she told me that a large number of women are suffering due to the side-effects of cheap creams like this.

People who do not even know the correct spelling of ingredients are claiming to make a perfect Skin Whitening formula. I suggest, instead of concentrating on metallic holographic packing, they should revise their formula, to save many women who are suffering from ill-effects of such creams. Below is the recapitulation of the overall experience I had with this cream.

Side Effects Of Faiza Beauty Cream

I have tested this cream for two weeks only, and I do not know about any long term usage side effects, please do not try this experiment on your skin.

The cream claims to lighten skin color, but I did not find any change in the complexion of the testing area on my skin.

There is an absurd feel to this cream; it gives a slight burning sensation on application.

The cream caused temporary redness and swelling on every application.

The cream resulted in oversensitivity on the application area more like a bleach.

The cream dried out my skin, remember I have an oily skin combination.

The texture of skin changed dramatically during the testing period; it was more like wear and tear and the smoothness of skin dropped blatantly.

The cream causes some kind of discoloration effects which in reality is not the change of complexion but the loss in the overall appearance of skin.

Recommendation

For all the ladies who are looking for a skin lightening solutions, please do not waste your money on this type of cheap products. My experiment merely comprised of two weeks, and I finally had to ditch this cream because I could not resist risking my skin after seeing its horrific side effects. I have read on the internet about this cream that it contains some harmful ingredients that can cause skin cancer. One more thing that I would like to share with you that most of the girls take skin discoloration as skin fairness. There is an enormous difference between skin fairness and discoloration. When your skin starts to lose its smoothness and quality it damages the overall texture and results in discoloration. On the other hand, skin fairness is more about the enhanced glow and overall improvement of the texture of your skin. You can use various home remedies to achieve a real skin glow. I will share a post on this topic in upcoming days. Instead of falling victims to creams like this you can try Loreal White Perfect cream that is ten times better than this one and highly recommended from my side.

Final words: Please do not waste your time and money on these creams, a cheap alternative is not always a good idea to get results.

The Price

I bought Faiza beauty cream for Rs. 150 from a local drugstore, you can also buy it online from ebay and Amazon. But I would recommend you to buy L'Oreal White Perfect cream from Amazon at a very good price, a cream that actually works.
